I fully expected some blockchain nonsense opening your link, I'm pleasantly surprised.
It seems like an interesting project but I wonder if it has any chance of reaching critical mass. The incumbents have no incentives to interoperate with such a protocol as far as I can tell.
- lolinder 5y agoThe same is true for any open protocol, at least at first. Any open protocol has to reach widespread usage first, and only then will incumbents have to adopt it. That's an extremely difficult task, but hopefully not impossible.
- simias 5y agoIs there a single example in recent memory of an open protocol achieving mainstream success without being sponsored by a large company? I really wish something like this Solid protocol would succeed, but I don't see how you could generate enough momentum for it at the moment.
